Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG Art Series Lens Shipping on April 7?

*UPDATE #2*We’re told by an authorized retailer that ONLY the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art will be available for preorder tonight.

*UPDATE*Preorders will go live tonight, midnight EST.

According to Nokishita, the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG Art series lens will begin shipping on April 7, 2017. There is no word on whether or not the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Art, Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS Art and Sigma 100-400 f/5-6.3 OS C will also start shipping on that day.

MSRP pricing looks to be 175,000 yen for the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG Art, which converts directly to about $1500USD. We do not expect the USA price to be that high.

Preorders for the lenses are expected to start shortly and you can sign-up below to be notified as soon as they do.
